new bold 9900

just bought this phone and t'internet dont seem as fast as my 3 year old curve i have just replaced did.

i bought it the same day as the bb network went down and not sure if that is now fully working or could be a factor as to why whatsapp messages sometimes taking 5 mins to send and error 'unable to connect to server' when loading a web page often appear.

my wife says, that its a technology problem that all new phones have a terrible signal/reception. - that cant be true though? I was with vodafone with last old phone and same again with the 9900.

i really dont know much about 3G or stuff but GPRS what i had on old'un seemed a lot more reliable.

i have played with a bold 9900 and a torch 9810 and i find those phones pretty fast and responsive.. i have a 9800 and i wish it was as fast as the os7 phones but its something i can live with... but yeah i am not one to buy a phone right away when it first comes out cause there can be technical problems with it.. like to wait a bit.. still deciding if i should get a 9900 if it comes out in white or wait for a qnx blackberry... just heard that the qnx blackberry might be all touch screen and i love the blackberry keyboard

Have you tried to update the OS to the latest official OS? Perhaps an update will help? Also, check your network settings to make sure you're on 3G. Furthermore, please see following post regarding subject title/forum placement, as it would help other CB members best help you.

Option 2. Through AppLoader:
Download OS to PC.
Following download, run OS file to install OS on PC. Follow on screen directions.
On BB, go to BBM Options, scroll down to Backup section. Ensure Remote Backup is enabled and also conduct a Local Backup to media card.
Connect BB to PC. Open Desktop Manager and backup device. Close DM.
On PC, go to
(64): Computer/C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader and delete Vendor file.
(32): Computer/C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader and delete Vendor file.
You can run BB Boss or Shrink-A-OS/BBHybrids Tool to shrink the OS and remove unwanted files/apps. This is an option step.
Run AppLoader (Research in Motion/AppLoader) to initiate OS upgrade. Follow onscreen instructions. Be sure to have PC plugged in to power source. Do not interrupt install process. Wait until BB restarts completely.
Power up your BB and ensure that your apps are working. You may need to upgrade some apps (particularly BBM, as some OS versions contain old BBM versions).

Might be a newtwork error still as that outage was huge and really effected you guys hard.

Is it still slow off wifi? If so may be something with the OS. You can try to change it and hopefully it fixes your issue, if not it could be something going on with the phone itself and or could still be that issue I mentioned earlier.
